The SWT Ribbon is modeled after the Office 2007 ribbon and intends to mimic its features. It custom-draws everything to draw things such as split buttons, custom toolbars and even a Shell implementation. Currently there are quite a few known issues with it that are incredibly hard to mimic as the normal Office ribbon can access and override Windows API which SWT cannot. Therefore it is quite unlikely that it will be more than a framework for creating a simplified ribbon, as opposed to re-creating every feature that the Office ribbon has.
